lib error

Hmm...I have simulated your warning by setting the runtime switch to Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) as you have. Did you do a clean build after changing the switches (Build menu, then Rebuild...)?

I just forgot to remove limbct from the exclude list here is my new log

what does cleaning the project do anyway?

[z05DSL3A]

Basically, 'cleaning' will delete all previous compiled intermediary files and marks all source files for recompiling.

You could try the debug version of the compiler switch (/MTd) for your debug build.

It my also be worth creating a new project (with one of the DarkGDK wizards), just in-case something has accidentally been changed in the projects properties.

I'm not sure I can be any more help than that.

Thanx anyway!
